Question on 1/6 Hasbro Vader helmet

[SpaceCrawler]

Which Hasbro Vader figure came with the helmet that people use to replace the Sideshow Vader helmet? Is it the talking Vader with the detachable hand and the helmet that comes off to reveal the scarred face?

Yep! That's the one. It also came in the Vader/Maul 2 pack, and Ultimate Ep 3 Vader/Anakin 2 pack as well.

Cool, thanks! I just got a lot off eBay for the helmet and wanted to double check. If anyone needs that Hasbro Darth Maul figure that comes in the two pack (he splits in teh middle) let me know.

That Hasbro Vader helmet is worth the modification. Looks SO much better.

It is totally worth it:

I don't think Sideshow will be making that mistake again.

 

[D'oh!]

Hold on, the Talking Vader has a detachable hand? I didn't know that and have owned one since it came out! Are there details once the hand comes off?

The one I got off ebay recently (for the helmet only) is the one that came in the 2 pack with Maul, I believe. They were loose but came together so I'm guessing it's from the 2 pack.

I think it's supposed to be a "talking" figure, there is a compartment in his back where is looks like a sound device is supposed to go, but it is empty.

The hand detaches and there are wire details on the inside the damaged hand and arm stump.

Thanks for the info, Sean. I have the earlier version.

I might have to sacrifice the Hasbro helmet for the Sideshow swap. Talking Vader looks better unmasked anyway...

I have all 3 of those Hasbro Vaders, and ended up sticking with the Sideshow helmet although I lowered it and adjusted the angle. When I held the Hasbro and SS helmets together with their bottoms touching, the flare difference is only the thickness of the Hasbro helmet... i.e. the inside of the Hasbro helmet touches the outside of the SS helmet. I also didn't like the way the lines on the ridge aren't as sharp on the Hasbro one. I think the SS helmet looks fine once modified.

Ive had the talking vader mimb from way back in the late 90's (when I was into mimb).. of course I should have opened it back then and enjoyed it.. as it looks horrific next to the sideshow one. Needless to say, it was great to have a use for it popping off the dome for the sideshow fig. It looks much better now.
